Little work has been published on the identification or comparison of information sources in the area of household chemical poisoning. Therefore, this study was set up to evaluate the performance of 11 sources in providing information to answer a selected set of 30 questions. The sources were: 2 on-line bibliographic databases: TOXLINE (TOXL), Excerpta Medica (EMED), one databank: Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS), 6 textbook sources and two National Poisons Information Service in-house databases (Poi sons Index, Clinical Case Reports File). The evaluation was made on the basis of completeness of information provided and search time. The retrieved references from TOXL and EMED were analysed for their relevance. The in-house data bases performed better than the other 9 sources in terms of speed of provision and completeness of information on household product poisoning. The search times (time taken to obtain original articles) using TOXL and EMED were high, although their information retrieval was as good as or better than that of the textbook sources. The RTECS databank provided no useful information. The needs of a poisons infor mation service are best served by a purpose-built in-house database, based on its own clinical case data, supplemented by external sources where necessary. The system would be im proved by computerization.

Combining Information

Pests and diseases introduced from other countries are known to pose a threat to trees, woods and forests in many locations throughout the world. Once introduced they can be spread inadvertently by countryside visitors hiking, biking or riding along paths and trails through wooded areas. Engaging and communicating with these groups of countryside users to encourage and facilitate positive biosecurity behaviours is crucial for the future resilience of trees, woods and forests. This review draws on literature outlining principles for stakeholder engagement in forestry as well as evaluations of biosecurity campaigns from around the world. Key points are briefly presented for communicators aiming to encourage better biosecurity in the countryside. These include, the need to design campaigns based on the values and motivations of recreationists, using trusted information sources and understanding the importance of combining information with facilities so as to reduce the cost (in terms of effort and inconvenience) to hikers and other countryside users.

AbstractThis article by Allie Lustigman gives recommendations for creating a knowledge business strategy. The steps outlined are based upon the premise of using a strategy to review the information service and formulate a clear plan for the future function, particularly in terms of expanding the service; however, they can be applied to differing types of strategies. The article looks at various methods in which a review can be carried out and then outlines the strategy document itself, summarising the different sections that make up the document. Additionally, this article looks into the uses and benefits of creating a business strategy for the information professional.
